Your Family's Praise Belongs Here

This clan has a praise. It is not on this page yet, and that is our doing, not anything about your family or the praise itself. If the people at home still say it, you can put the true one here.

Why It Is Not Here Yet

The rendering that was read: Anonymous blog administrator, Tinanatelo (community blog, 116 posts of June 2018), 2018, Blogger — http://tinanatelo.blogspot.com/2018/06/ (post Tinanatelo ZIKALALA)

A praise belongs to the families who recite it, not to whoever wrote it down. A siSwati-speaking family that still holds this one holds the better version of it, and can put that version on this page.

Written down by families and by the people who recorded them.

About This Record

What Was Written Down

Kuper, as reported, classes the Zikalala as Nguni late-comers. LaMnini of Khuzweni, of the Zikalala, was a wife of Sobhuza I and mother of Prince Mantintinti. The community blog's praise opens with Khuzeni, matching that place-name link independently. Recorded from the sources named on this entry; the wording here is Sibaya's own.

If Your Family Holds More Of This

A family saying its own tinanatelo knows them better than any directory does. If yours has more than what is on this page, it belongs here.

This is also how this clan's praise gets onto the page. Your family's own words are yours to give.
